Czech band AAEN ANIMA has been founded in 2002. From album to album AA
creates always new musical forms. Its recordings through time could be
inaccurately defined by forthcoming keywords: progressive doom and brutal
subfolk/jazz fusion, avant-garde with clarinet, electronica with mandoline, raw
black thrash death core and mainly instrumental avant-garde/progressive. No live
or electronic drums have been used ever.

History
2 0 0 2
Aaen Anima has been found on 25th April
Style of this
era was something like acoustic avantgarde with influences of gothic and doom
metal. Theres has left the band in August.
In this time Aaen begins to
use electric guitar in this project. Bassguitarist Walis follows band in the
beginning of November. Aaen Anima´s compositions are not changed in this line-up,
but they are harder because of electric guitar, no female vocal and bass guitar.
By time Aaen Anima takes more colours of long perverse improvisations and parts
of scattered composition. The first (unofficial) version of EP „Aaenic
Poems“ is done on 13th December with the friend contrabassist Funeral as a
guest in song „Elven Mirror“.

Keyboardist Jari, ex-Inmemorial, ex-Tenebria (bands
from Peru) got to band aproximately in February. Afterwards some his keyboard
parts are added to „Aaenic Poems“. Mastering of this EP is a little changed
too. Because of this all is arising an official version of „Aaenic Poems“.
Walis interrupted cooperation with the band in May.

member, Ascela (bass) in September. „Aniline Harp“ is done in the end
